Cyprus-based AI company RAVATAR has been selected to showcase its technology at the newly launched AI Experience Centre in Luxembourg, delivering a full-body holographic avatar that welcomes visitors and helps guide them through AI-in-finance use cases.
The AI Experience Centre, located at the Luxembourg House of Financial Technology, was officially inaugurated this month, marking a significant step in Luxembourg’s ambition to position itself at the forefront of responsible AI innovation in finance.
The opening ceremony was attended by H.R.H. the Grand Duke, Prime Minister Luc Frieden, and Finance Minister Gilles Roth, underlining the strategic importance of the initiative within the country’s broader AI4LUX national strategy.
Cyprus technology on display
At the centre of the visitor experience is 'Kristal', a full-body, real-time interactive AI avatar developed by RAVATAR.
Deployed as a full holographic presence inside a holobox and combining face, voice and real-time financial knowledge, Kristal can answer visitor questions on topics such as AI in wealth management, fraud detection and sustainable investing in a clear and accessible way.
The avatar serves as a Holo Financial Advisor, welcoming visitors and guiding them through AI-in-finance use cases.
Positioned as a “Holo Financial Advisor”, the avatar serves both as a guide and as a demonstration of how human-machine interaction could evolve within financial services environments.
A strong example of Cyprus-based technology
Commenting on the company’s participation, Ruslan Synytskyy, CEO of RAVATAR, said, “We are proud that RAVATAR, a Cyprus-based company, was selected as part of the AI Experience Centre at the Luxembourg House of Financial Technology. By delivering the centre’s holographic AI avatar, we wanted to show in a practical and accessible way how AI can support interaction and guidance in financial services. For us, this is also a strong example of Cyprus-developed technology being showcased in one of Europe’s leading financial centres.”
On the organiser’s side, Dr Esli Spahiu highlighted the importance of experiential AI, “At the AI Experience Centre, we wanted to showcase AI in a way that is practical and easy to experience firsthand. RAVATAR’s holographic AI avatar was a strong fit for that vision, giving visitors an engaging example of how AI can support interaction and guidance in a financial-services context.”
A flagship hub for AI in finance
Initiated and powered by the LHoFT, with support from the Ministry of Finance and a network of partners including Microsoft, Plug and Play Tech Center and Proximus Group, the AI Experience Centre is designed as an interactive environment showcasing practical AI applications.

As noted in communications from the LHoFT and supporting organisations, the goal is to present AI “in a way that is practical and easy to experience firsthand,” reinforcing Luxembourg’s positioning as a leading international financial centre embracing innovation.
